Hi to all, i have a question.All the Dodge Journey and the Fiat Freemont have a Optima Redtop Battery, that is 25,4 cm (10 inches) in lenght. Can i install a battery that is almost long 11 inches (27, 8cm)?It's the battery tray big enough? Anyone (Dodge care ie) knows the battery tray dimensions? ThankYou!

Thank you!

Hi to all, i have a little question.I would like to switch from 19" to 17" for winter tyres, but i don't know if is necessary to change some settings for the automatic transmission.I have a Fiat Freemont , but the automatic transmission is the same, it's the first time i drive a car without a stickshift. Any suggestion? Thnaks Francesco

I'm from Italy and i have a 2012 Fiat Freemont AWD, the same of the Journey except for the diesel engine.Even if is quite heavy, brakes ,suspensions , steering are working very . well.I have only 40000 km on it but i've drove my Freemont on highway but also on bendy road and i was very impressed.

There is absolutly no problem with the 17" rims and the new calipers/rotors.In Europe all the 17" and 19" rims have bigger brakes.With the 17" rims the clearence between the rim and the caliper is quite little but there are non problems.I think that with tne new caliper it's impossible to mount the. 16" rims.

Welcome!Ciao! What model is your Freemont? Awd ?

My Freemont is an AWD with a 2 litres turbo diesel engine, 170 hp.

Thank you!

My Freemont awd has bigger brakes.Assembled on 02/2012.

Moparman, the new style vent it's better?It's more relaible? Thanks!

Thank you Toy4ever!During the last 4 days i've driven for 850 km , very satisfied for the awd (it rained for the most part) and for the uconnect Nav. There's no problem for the 16 inch tyre, i've seen that there are a lot of excellent snow tyre for the 17". The new brakes are very good but i 'can't compare with the older, i've never drove a Freemont before. Bye bye (from Italy!) Francesco

Finally my Freemont Awd is arrived! 170 hp, diesel engine and 8,4"uconnect with Navigation System.First time with automatic gerashift,it was the only way to have the awd. I've noticed that my Freemont has bigger rotor and caliper, like the latest Journey AWD.Mine was built in 02/2012. Very happy so far!

In Europe all the Fiat Freemont (same of DJ) assembled from January/February are arriving with bigger brakes, both AWDs and FWDs.

Thanks!

Hi Moparman! In which month was produced your Journey?Thank you, i'm waiting for my Freemont AWD and i 'hope it has been produced with bigger brakes.
